Chapter 412: Rivals Gather

readx;?“ Boom!"

The astonishing news brought by Chu Ding stirred up a thousand waves in the main hall, and as soon as the emperor came to this point, there was a burst of unbelievable exclamations in the main hall. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Looking at Lu Yifan's face again, it became extremely ugly in an instant, almost in an instant, his palms were overflowing with cold sweat, and his dazed mind was also trying his best to quickly calculate, how to resolve this dilemma now.

"Haha...... Sect Master Lu, this is God helping you and me!" Compared to Lu Yifan's 'surprise', Ao Guang's face was full of 'joy' without hesitation, he stared at Lu Yifan with his smiling old eyes with deep meaning, and laughed loudly, "The emperor has already come to the door, this time Sect Master Lu can't find an excuse to shirk it, right?"

"What do you want to do?" Lu Wencai asked with a nervous face.

"Actually, it's very simple, Sect Master Lu only needs to invite the Emperor and his party in, and then block the four masters of the Holy Soul Academy for the old man!" Ao Guang said casually, "As for the rest of the things, you don't need to worry about it!"

"Ao Guang, don't you want to move His Majesty the Emperor here!" Lu Haoqian shouted, "Otherwise, I will never let you go!"

Regarding Lu Haoqian's threat, Ao Guang was quite indifferent, only to see him raise his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly, "Lord Lu, now that it is difficult to lead the emperor, you should go to Xuanzong to find the Eastern Sect Master for help. The old man just wants to escort the emperor all the way back to Xuanzong, why is Lord Lu so excited?"

"Yifan, this is ......" Chu Ding and the others didn't know what kind of situation was in the hall at this moment, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a while, because they didn't seem to see the expected excitement on Lu Yifan's face, but were slightly solemn.

"How is it? Yifan, people have arrived at the door, shall we invite?" Liu Sandao can best understand Lu Yifan's mood, but the reality in front of him makes him have to make a choice, in such an atmosphere, some words may only be asked by Liu Sandao.

"Each of the four deans of the Holy Soul Academy is a first-class top master, if you want to fight hard, you will definitely not be able to get any benefits!" Lu Yifan frowned and said to Ao Guang, "Why don't you avoid it for the time being, and let Lu figure out the intention of the emperor first?"

"Lu Yifan, is this necessary?" Xuan Fang snorted dissatisfiedly.

"If you want to avoid it, you can avoid it, where did you get so much nonsense!" Liu Sandao was anxious because of Lu Yifan's dilemma, so he was in an extremely bad mood. As soon as Xuan Fang's words came out, Liu Sandao's face sank, and then he scolded mercilessly, "If you dare to talk about the conditions again, Lao Tzu will cut off your dog's head with a knife now, and Ji Yi'er will not be able to protect you!"

"How dare you ......"

"Poof!"

"Whew!"

Just when Xuan Fang was about to be annoyed and angry, Liu Sandao didn't say a word of nonsense, only to hear a soft sound of pulling the knife out of the sheath suddenly sounded in the hall, and then Liu Sandao, who was originally sitting opposite Xuan Fang with his legs crossed, suddenly disappeared, and then Xuan Fang saw a sharp black wind coming, and before he could react, a dazzling silver light suddenly crossed the air, and a chill was pressing between the electric light and flint. The silver thread was condensed directly above the Xuanfang Heavenly Spirit Cover, mixed with a rapid sound of breaking the sky, and the Moon Chopping Long Knife was really slashing towards Xuanfang's head without any scruples, and even a fool could see that Liu Sandao was really moving.

Liu Sandao's speed was so fast and the blade was so fierce that he suppressed Xuanfang to death, Liu Sandao didn't intend to give Xuanfang a chance to breathe, and before Xuanfang mobilized his soul power, the fatal knife had already fallen from the sky.

"Ah......h

"Whoosh!"

"Smack!"

Seeing that the unexpectedly Xuan Fang was about to die tragically under Liu Sandao's knife, but before he could exclaim, he saw that Xuan Fang's diagonal top was suddenly flashing a white shadow, and then before everyone could see what this white shadow was, a crisp sound like a metal impact suddenly sounded above Xuan Fang's head, until the sudden white shadow that flew in slammed into Liu Sandao's knife and shattered, everyone saw its original appearance clearly, it turned out to be a teacup, and the person who threw out this teacup at the last moment was Ao Guang who was sitting on the side。

"Bang!"

At the moment when Ao Guang threw out the teacup, his right leg suddenly kicked out towards the inside of Xuan Fang's knee, accompanied by a muffled sound, Xuan Fang's knee bent suddenly, and his whole body knelt on the ground subconsciously, and at the same time as Xuan Fang knelt down, Liu Sandao's moon-cutting long knife also roared close to the top of his head, due to the sudden interruption of the teacup just now, so that the lightning-fast blade had a trace of deviation that was too late to correct, and it was by relying on this deviation that Xuan Fang's head could have escaped a catastrophe.

As the long knife whistled past Xuan Fang's scalp, a few strands of black hair were also shaved off by the blade, which shocked Xuan Fang's legs and couldn't help but weaken for a while, and then his whole body was paralyzed on the ground. His face was extremely pale, his eyes were looking forward to it in horror, and even his bloodless lips were trembling slightly, he had lived for so many years, but this moment just now was definitely the closest he had come to death in this life.

"Brother Liu!"

Without waiting for Liu Sandao to change his moves, Lu Yifan's voice sounded by accident. Lu Yifan first stopped Liu Sandao's killing move, and then turned his solemn gaze to Ao Guang, and said coldly: "Elder Ao Guang, you don't want to have a stalemate with us now, do you?

Lu Yifan's words obviously hit Ao Guang's pain point, he frowned and hesitated for a long time, before he finally spit out a sentence from his mouth that was already extremely low: "The so-called guest is as good as the master, since Sect Master Lu has his own arrangements, then the old man is better to be respectful than to obey his fate!"

"Very good!" Lu Yifan nodded and said.

"It's just that I hope Sect Master Lu will never forget what the old man said just now!" Ao Guang didn't forget to tell him while getting up, "If you make a mistake, you will lose everything!" Sect Master Lu is a smart person, I believe you will definitely make the wisest choice!"

After that, Ao Guang stopped talking nonsense, and left the hall quickly with Xuanfang, Ji Yi'er and more than a dozen Xuanzong disciples.

"Whew!"

Seeing the figures of Ao Guang and the others disappearing outside the hall, Lu Yifan exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and the big stone in his heart was temporarily stable. There are two reasons why Lu Yifan didn't want to let the emperor and Ao Guang meet, one is that if the emperor and Ao Guang met in the palace just now, they would inevitably fight on the spot, and Lu Yifan, who was caught in the middle, was undoubtedly the most difficult one. The second is that even Lu Yifan himself didn't think about what kind of attitude he should take to face the Emperor and Xuanzong at this moment, so he didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings on either side before he completely figured it out.

"Fortunately, it's a false alarm!" Lu Wencai patted his chest vigorously, his face was already full of sweat.

"The real trouble has just begun, is it a false alarm, it's too early to say!" Lu Yifan smiled helplessly, and then said to Chu Ding loudly, "Go and invite the emperor and the four deans to come in!"

Chu Ding nodded solemnly, just now Liu Sandao suddenly made a move on Xuan Fang that made Chu Ding and the others seem to realize something, although it was not clear what was going on, but one thing they were sure of at this moment was that it was definitely not a suitable time for the Emperor and the four deans to come to the Soul Sect now.

Knowing that the emperor was about to come in, Lu Haoqian, who was already sitting on pins and needles, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart at this moment, and stood up quite excitedly and walked to the hall anxiously.

Although he has experienced so many things, Lu Haoqian's loyalty to Emperor Yanchong seems to have never changed from beginning to end.

After a while, in the company of Qu Feng, Fu Li, Zhao Yun, and Lei Tian, an embarrassed, tired gray-robed old man walked into the main hall of the Soul Sect tremblingly.

After months of running around and being quite ill himself, today's Emperor Yan Chong has long since lost the spirit of the past and the momentum of the king, replaced by a touch of weakness and desolation that the world has never seen.

Thinking back to the Lord of the Sacred Realm who sat on top of the Golden Palace of the Dynasty and calling for wind and rain, and then looking at the frail old man who was dying and covered in stains standing in front of everyone today, it was really difficult to confuse the two.

At this moment, there was silence in the main hall of the Soul Sect, Yan Chong didn't even need to open his mouth to speak, just his current down-and-out appearance was enough to make everyone in the hall speechless for a while. Even Han Ling'er, who was full of resentment towards Yan Chong and had already prepared a basket of words to ridicule him, was just staring at Yan Chong with red eyes at this moment, but she couldn't make a sound in her mouth, because she had been completely shocked by Yan Chong at this moment, was this still the Lord of the Holy Realm she knew, who was bent on going his own way and could not be beaten? Is this still the murderous, cold-blooded and ruthless devil she remembered? Is this still the emperor she hated who punished the nine clans of the Han family with just one sentence?

No, Yan Chong is no longer the emperor he was back then, he is more like an ordinary old man at this moment, even worse than an ordinary old man. Because the feeling of the twilight of the hero is more sad, more bleak and more depressing!

But even though Yan Chong's kingly style is gone, he is still Han Ling'er's father-killing enemy, which she will never forget.

In this way, there was no greetings and politeness in the main hall of the Soul Sect, everyone's eyes were focused on the body of Emperor Yanchong, and the look in the eyes of different people was not the same, some were shocked, some mocked, some indifferent...... And, of course, pathos. And the trembling gaze of Emperor Yan Chong has always fallen on one person from the moment he stepped into the hall, and that person is Yan Chong's former confidant, Lu Haoqian.

Reminisce about the past, and then look at the present. The two are not only monarchs and ministers, but also confidants, friends, enemies, and passers-by......

Lu ...... Lu Haoqian ...... "Yan Chong's voice trembled and was slightly hoarse, his eyes were trembling violently, and the loose muscles on his wrinkled old face were trembling uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty!"

Listening to this call, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, Lu Haoqian could no longer control the excitement in his heart, only to see him cry out with tears in his eyes, followed by a 'poof' The whole person knelt at Yan Chong's feet, and respectfully gave Yan Chong a great gift of monarchs and ministers who would only appear in the Golden Palace of the Imperial City in the past.

The old minister Lu Haoqian ...... Meet Your Majesty......" Lu Haoqian opened his mouth to say this sentence that he had said for most of his life, and since Jinling was demoted, this sentence has been a little rusty for him. But the moment he said this, he and Yan Chong were both in tears, and they cried bitterly.

"Hurry up...... Hurry up, please ......" Yan Chong slowly stepped forward and personally helped Lu Haoqian up, both of them were teary-eyed, their faces were full of tears, Yan Chong grabbed Lu Haoqian's arms with both hands, and said intermittently, "It's the emperor's mistake...... It's all the emperor's fault...... The emperor should not believe the words of a traitorous minister, and wronged a true loyal minister......"

"Your Majesty, don't say that! The minister can't stand it!" Lu Haoqian looked at Yan Chong's old state and couldn't help choking up, "During this time, the minister is not around to solve problems for Your Majesty...... Your Majesty has suffered......"

"Lan Shixun's wolf ambition, this emperor has mistaken him!" Yan Chong gritted his teeth and said, "In vain, this emperor values him so much, and gives him opportunities again and again, but he never thought that this is a white-eyed wolf that can never be fed...... Now that Lan Shixun has gathered 300,000 troops and is heading directly at Jinling City, the Holy Domain is in danger...... Could it be that the millions of years of Yan Clan's ancestral inheritance are really going to be destroyed by my Yan Chong's hands?"

"As long as Your Majesty is safe and sound, then Lan Shixun will never want to become the new Lord of the Holy Domain!" Lu Haoqian persuaded with a sad face, "So Your Majesty must take care of yourself......

Lu Haoqian's words made Yan Chong burst into tears with excitement, and he couldn't stop nodding and said, "Now that this emperor has fled here, he just wants to ask you for help!"

"Come on, come on!" Lu Haoqian seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly helped Yan Chong to walk in the direction of Lu Yifan, "Your Majesty, this is the Soul Sect, the sect founded by my son Yifan, and now I am a waste of idle clouds and wild cranes, if Your Majesty has any troubles, just tell my son!"

Under the traction of Lu Haoqian, Yan Chong set his eyes on the most important position of the entire Soul Sect Hall, and the interesting scene was from Yan Chong stepping into the hall until now, Lu Yifan has always sat on his throne steadily, and he has never even raised his buttocks, and his dark and deep eyes have been quietly staring at Yan Chong, who is already quietly staring at the old Long Zhong, without any look on his face, which makes people not see the slightest joy and anger.

Until this moment, nominally, Lu Yifan is still the prisoner to be arrested by the emperor. I once remembered that a few months ago, Lu Yifan was escorted into the Golden Palace of the Imperial City to be interrogated by Yan Chong, but time has passed, and in less than a year, the Emperor Ling stood in the main hall of the Soul Sect to be examined by Lu Yifan. This situation is so similar to the scene at that time, even Yan Chong and Lu Yifan can't help but feel full of emotion in their hearts.

"Lu Yi......" Yan Chong had already said half of his words before he stopped abruptly, and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head and changed his words, "It should be Sect Master Lu!

"Yan Chong!"

Before Lu Yifan could answer, Han Ling'er, who was standing beside him, could no longer hold back the hatred in her heart, only to see her take a step forward with an excited expression, angrily stretched out her hand and pointed at Yan Chong angrily, and scolded her by name, "You return my Han family......'s innocence! Give back my father's life......" When she said this, a pair of beautiful big eyes were already overflowing with tears of pain, but even if the tears kept falling, she still glared at Yan Chong desperately angrily, and she couldn't help but walk towards Yan Chong quickly, looking at her menacing appearance, it seemed that she wanted Yan Chong to ask for her life now.

Seeing this scene, the four Qu Feng people from the Holy Soul Academy hurriedly flashed forward and blocked in front of Yan Chong, wanting to stop Han Ling'er. And the reaction of the four people of Qu Feng also instantly aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone in the Soul Sect, Liu Sandao, Ji Yuan, Xie Yun, and Lu Jun stepped forward one after another, firmly protecting Han Ling'er behind them, and then the tip of the needle was facing the four people of Qu Feng like Mai Mang, and there was a cold look in their eyes. At the same time, Yin Xi, Liu Meng and other Soul Sect disciples had already drawn their swords, and Hula suddenly surrounded Yan Chong and Qu Feng.

"Do you want to rebel?" Qu Feng shouted angrily.

"What's wrong with you?" Liu Sandao sneered without showing weakness, "If you dare to take a step forward, Lao Tzu still wants to kill you!"

"Yifan, let them stand down!" Lu Haoqian hurriedly said with an embarrassed expression, "Don't be rude to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Hearing Lu Haoqian's words, Lu Yifan hesitated for a moment with a solemn expression, and then under Lu Haoqian's anxious gaze, he slowly waved his hand at Liu Sandao and the others, and a large group of Soul Sect disciples slowly retreated. And Tang Ruoxi, Ah Chang, and Wu Mei walked forward quickly, helping the emotional Han Linger to the side, Han Linger at this moment seemed to have cried into a tearful person, and the unbearable tragic past made her tremble like a sieve at the moment, if it weren't for the strange atmosphere in the hall, Lu Yifan would have taken her away from here in distress. Fortunately, Liu Qingyuan walked over in time and hugged Han Ling'er tightly into her arms, and both mother and daughter burst into tears, but this also brought a trace of comfort to Han Ling'er, who was in pain.

And for all this, Lu Yifan saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart! Although he still didn't have any unusual look on the surface, every sobbing of Han Ling'er made Lu Yifan's heart like a knife, and it was painful. And Lu Haoqian's embarrassed look made him have to have a trace of reason towards Yan Chong.

"Sect Master Lu......"

"Don't be in a hurry to say what His Majesty wants to say for the time being!" Without waiting for Yan Chong to speak again, Lu Yifan suddenly grabbed the words, "There is one thing that is more urgent than anything now!" As soon as Lu Yifan said this, the hall fell into silence again, and everyone's eyes were staring nervously at Lu Yifan, because no one knew what he would say next.

"Dare to ask what's the matter?"

"The Han family's business!"
